I have no problem with Wednesday being smarter and stronger than Pugsley, but I hope he isn’t a total loser. He does seem to have some sort of power (zapping the sign)  
I also hope the bee kid is back – one of my favorite side characters.

The airport scene reminded me of _Oscar_.

New trailer for season 2:

IMHO a new thread should be created once (of just before) season 2 airs. I’ll do it if no one beats me to it.

Since the season is broken up into two parts, maybe two threads. In fact, breaking seasons up into multiple threads might be a nice middle ground for shows that drop entire seasons at the same time (where we don’t want/need a thread for each episode). Give people a way to discuss earlier episodes without spoiling later parts of the show.

Full season threads are a pet peeve of mine since I can’t/won’t read them until I’m done with the season. Squid Game is a good example. I can see the current thread blowing up, but I won’t look at it until I’m caught up.

@ me when you start the new thread and I’ll close this thread for 10 days. I’m pretty sure that is easy with the software.

**So part one of season 2 drops August 6th.**

That was a pretty impressive trailer for me at least. I’m looking forward to season 2 at long last.

Trailer looks great, though I hope the writing is better than the “padded room” joke that they ended the trailer on. Usually you want to end a trailer with a great button, but that was quite lame.

Anyway, I loved the first season and will definitely be tuning in for Season 2.

Closing this one as the new one is here:

> [@Wednesday -- Season 2 part 1 - drops August 6, 2025](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/wednesday-season-2-part-1-drops-august-6-2025/1021555):
>
> The episode titles were recently revealed – all will drop August 6th: Here We Woe Again The Devil You Woe Call Of The Woe If These Woes Could Talk I guess now is a good time as any to start this thread and close the older one. @What_Exit please do the honors. Open spoilers for part one only. A separate thread will be created for part two which drop September 3rd Brian
